The ACRIOS M-Bus to the LoRaWAN converter is designed for efficient readings of any wired M-Bus meters—typically electricity meters, water meters and heat meters, especially in the district heating industry. The device allows the integration of traditional M-Bus meters into the LoRaWAN wireless network, facilitating the data collection on consumption in intervals as short as fifteen minutes.
The solution from ACRIOS Systems significantly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) of projects requiring frequent remote readings of the M-Bus meters, thanks to features like remote configuration, plug-and-play setup or the WAGO terminals for quick installation.
